What is the main idea behind pyrolysis?

1 answer:

6 0

The process of thermal decomposition of organic materials (carbon based materials) at very high temperature and absence of oxygen is known as pyrolysis.

The temperature for such process is generally 430 °C or 800 °F. This causes simultaneous change in physical phase and chemical composition of the organic material. The process is irreversible in nature.

The resultant products mostly have more useful properties than the original one. Thus, to bring the greater value to the common organic material and waste, the idea of pyrolysis is important.

C. Magma from venus mantle erupted as lava.

Explanation:

A volcano is a land form which results from the eruption of molten rocks (lava) on the surface. Volcanic rocks are a special type of igneous rock that forms when molten rock cools and solidifies on the surface.

For a planet like Venus which is presently not active and little to no movement occurs within the plates, the volcanisim must have occurred when the planet was relatively young and it must have been millions of years ago.

It is widely believed that Venus was geologically active in times past. Mantle generated lava must have solidified on the surface in times past to have formed the volcano.

Evaluating other options:

Impact of space objects on Venus would lead to the formation of a crater which is a depression on the surface. The rock would be mostly metamorphic.

If water was ever present in Venus, they would have produced sedimentary rocks instead. The erosive power of water is not high enough to cut through the crust. Also, water would not aid the formation of volcanoes.

Heat is not enough to from volcanoes. Other factors are also in play.

If 156.06 g of propane, C3H8, is burned in excess oxygen, how many grams of water are formed? C3H8 + O2 → CO2 + H2O Select one:

Nastasia [14]

Answer:

The correct option is;

a. 255.0 g

Explanation:

The given information are;

Mass of propane, C₃H₈ in the combustion reaction = 156.06 g

The equation of the combustion reaction is C₃H₈ + 5O₂ → 3CO₂ + 4H₂O

From the balanced chemical equation of the reaction, we have;

One mole of propane, C₃H₈ reacts with five moles oxygen gas, O₂, to form three moles of carbon dioxide, CO₂, and four moles of water, H₂O

The molar mass of propane gas = 44.1 g/mol

The number of moles, n, of propane gas = Mass of propane gas/(Molar mass of propane gas) = 156.06/44.1 = 3.54 moles

Given that one mole of propane gas produces 4 moles of water molecule (steam) H₂O, 3.54 moles of propane gas will produce 4×3.54 = 14.16 moles of (steam) H₂O

The mass of one mole of H₂O = 18.01528 g/mol

The mass of 14.16 moles of H₂O = 14.16 × 18.01528 = 255.0 g

The mass of H₂O produced = 255.0 g
